"Do you know what just happened to my manor?" Molly exclaimed. "A mobile Suite just blasted it to pieces!"
"Yeah we know." said Jamie sourly.
"And there was a dark mark floating above my bedroom!" said Rock.
"Voldemort." I said knowingly.
"What's he in this for?" asked Allie.
"Arian probably promised him Harry's head on a plate." I grimly pictured the sight in my head.
"So meanwhile we're stuck here." Said Molly.
~
One day, two days, three days passed. Jamie had found Milliardo and he was at Relena's house, along with Quatre, Duo and Dua. They'd already started on the reconstruction of their houses. So had we, but they were all taking a while. We'd spotted Arian only once on the grounds, Logan had taken care of her pretty quickly, he scared her pretty badly and she hadn't come back. None of her friends came around either.
The third day was a Tuesday; I didn't worry about school, because I was probably suspended for skipping Monday. We all had, even Rock. Instead we were attending Bayview, so at least we were going to some sort of school. Darkholme had given Allie, Molly, and Rock trouble banning them from the school until they received parental consent. Xavier gave it to them and they returned on Wednesday. By this day I'd just about given up ever being able to set foot in SOMS ever again. They'd have me in centrals (2 hr detentions) for months. I think the others were along my line of thinking because Rock bought up a very outrageous prospect.
"Why don't we just stay here, and not go back?" he said timidly one day.
Jamie and I stared open mouthed at him and Allie and Molly were speechless.
"What do you mean stay here?" Jamie asked.
"As in stay here, I mean if we go back to reality we might as well put ourselves on the stakes over the fire, because that's what our parents are gonna do us when we go back home." He explained.
I agreed with him about the fire (actually I was thinking more of a firing squad, but that's besides the point), but I knew that we couldn't just stay here. That would be running away from our problems and then they would probably just get bigger.
"Well?" he prompted.
There were two no's, one yes, and two undecided. Jamie and I were the two undecided. Rock said yes and Jamie and Allie said flat out no.
"If we go back, we'll be in a lot of trouble." Said Jamie tensely.
"True that." Said Molly. "But if we go back we can get out of that trouble. Besides what do you think our parents are thinking about now?"
The image in my head was not pretty. I saw the fiery pits of hell with all of us ties up. our parents were standing around us jabbing us with pitchforks. I shuddered at the thought.
"fiery pits of hell." I told them,
they looked at me strangely.
"What I'm saying is that we need to go back and we need to go back now."
~
At three thirty I snuck back into my parents house. My dad was at work and my mom was out picking up my brother from school. In my room I sat down at my computer checking my e-mail. It was all junk, nothing I needed to read. A few minutes later I heard the back door close, and I knew that my mom was home. It was at that point I heard her scream. She must have seen my back pack sitting by the stairs.
"Kendra!!" she yelled.
I slowly got up and walked into the upstairs hallway.
"Hello." I called.
"Get down here right now!" she said. She was glaring at me, and I knew that she meant business. I hurried down the stairs to see her.
"Kendra!" My brother saw me. "Where've you been?"
"I'm wondering the same thing." She crossed her arms. "Where the hell have you been?"
"School." I said lamely. "and around."
"Where have you been at night?" she yelled the word night. "you have an 11:30 curfew."
"Um, give me a second."
If anything she looked madder. "You think you're such a smart mouth. Well you are in some big, big trouble."
"I kinda guessed that."
"What have you been doing?" she asked. "are you in trouble, are you on drugs?" she paused. "you are aren't you. Empty your pockets."
"What?" I coughed.
"Empty your pockets. I need to know you aren't on something."
I started to breath heavily. My transporter was in my pocket so emptying them would not be such a good idea. Little did I know that all of my friends were going through this too.
I turned my attention back towards my mom. She looked at me harshly. I put my hands in my pockets and took every thing except for the transporter out. My mom looked in my hands. The other contents of my pockets included a pen, some cards, a reporter style note book, some crumpled up homework sheets from Bayview, a mini flash light, and unfortunately… a pack of matches (from when I'd first been practicing with my powers).
"What in heavens name…?" my mom pointed at the book of matches and almost had a heart attack.
"Listen I can explain." I held my hands out in front of me. "They aren't mine. They're Melissa's or they were Melissa's before she disappeared. I'd been holding them for her."
My mom raised an eyebrow. "What ever. Try something a bit more believable next time. In the mean-time your grounded for a month. Curfew is 9:30. Be in by that time or it's two weeks added on."
"One month?!" I asked.
"Uh huh, no cable TV, you may only go out if it's homework or sports related, and you only have access to the computer in your room, and no allowance."
I almost fainted then.
"Am I making my self clear?"
"Crystal." I said grumpily. I turned on my heal, army style, and walked up the stairs not looking back.

MilliardoWF: Well I
don't know what we expected them to do, we'd been gone for about three days you
know. My parents basically had the same reaction. They yelled and lectured me
about how I was an adult and I shouldn't be vanishing like I do.
Cajun Chick411: well at
least your parents didn't find matches in your pocket
MilliardoWF: good
point. So how long are you grounder for? I'm ground for a whopping 2 months.
Cajun Chick411: one
MilliardoWF: You lucky
child. My parents are so strict. Of course I don't even want to know what
happened to Rock!! His parents are the worst. They'll kill him!
Cajun Chick411: *shudders*
I'll probably talk to him later, and find out what happened. You should talk to
Molly.
MilliardoWF: Already
have. She's got one month, and two months probation.
Cajun Chick411: Ew! That's
gotta hurt.
MilliardoWF: I know!…
Another question… If your parents are gonna be breathing down your back, what's
gonna happen to that other certain baby back in Marauders land?
Cajun Chick411: You just
had to bring that up.
MilliardoWF: inquiring
minds want to knowJ
Cajun Chick411: Well I have
to go back there soon I guess.
MilliardoWF: and of
course how are we gonna deal with Arian, while grounded?
Cajun Chick411: We'll
manage.
MilliardoWF: I have to
go. My older brother is now gonna lecture me over the phone from college.
Cajun Chick411: I wish you
luck young grasshopper. See ya tomorrow.
~
Cajun Chick411: Hey
Rock.
Pokemon Brainiac: My
parents are on a war path!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Cajun Chick411: Calm

Cajun Chick411: what

Pokemon Brainiac: I'm

Cajun Chick411: who?!
Pokemon Brainiac:
Mystique *faints!*
Cajun Chick411: *falls

Pokemon Brainiac: Very!
Supposedly she was over to talk about 'grades' but I saw right through her. she
was asking my dad things like, how long would I be grounded and, did I leave
home a lot.
Cajun Chick411: well

Pokemon Brainiac: My dad answered most things accept for the grounding
question.
Cajun Chick411: did you
talk to her?
Pokemon Brainiac: I
said hello and good bye. I also glared at her quite a bit. She asked me in
private if you and Jaime were ready to join the Brotherhood yet.
Cajun Chick411: What'd
you say?
Pokemon Brainiac: No.
Cajun Chick411: did she
look mad?
Pokemon Brainiac: Very.
I've gotta go my mom wants to yell at me some more.
Cajun Chick411:
toodles!

"Come on Kendra, I want to play Twister®" called my brother.
"Must we?" I called down the stairs.
"Mom says you have to play with me."
This was another form of torture my parents had managed to think up. I had to play what ever my brother wanted to play. To make it worse my dad had let him have four bowls of fruit loops for breakfast, so this kid was hyper.
"Hurry up!" he yelled.
"Yeah, yeah I'm coming." I signed off of my computer and dragged my self into the hall. "Let me just go to the bathroom."
In the bather room I sat down on the toilet cover.
"Kendra!"
"Shut up!" I screamed.
"I'm telling!"
"And I've had enough!" I said frustrated. "I'm leaving."
To make it convincing I opened the bathroom window and screen, so every one would think that I'd climbed out. In reality I pulled out my transported and disappeared just as I heard Kristian coming up the stairs.
~
I was supposed to land on the inside of Gryffindor common room. I landed on the freezing Hogwarts grounds. Looking at my transporter I hit it, muttering. Since I was to lazy to walk up the grounds myself I tried transporting to the Gryffindor tower again. this time I landed in front of the portrait of the fat lady.
"Jobberknoll." I said.
The password worked and the portrait flipped over letting me in. To my surprise Molly was in the common room with Remus.
"What're you doing?" I asked.
"Nothing. What're you doing?" she asked me, imitating the commercial.
"Shut up." I said. "I'm serious. What're you doing here? Aren't you grounded?"
"You should talk!" she folded her arms. "And anyway my parents and Malcolm are out. No one knows I'm gone."
"I'm only here because my brother was going to make me play twister with him for the umpteenth time. I'm about to go stark raving mad if I have to stay in that house another hour." I cried. "Now where's Sirius?"
"Her visit had another purpose altogether." Remus whispered to Molly, then to me. "He's in the dorm."
I turned and started up the stairs.
"Hey," called Molly. "You can't…"
"Shut it." I called.
James', Sirius', Remus's, and Peter's room was at the top of the stairs to the right. The last time I'd been there it was farthest down the hall to the left. Hogwarts rooms seem to move around quite a lot.
"Sirius!" I knocked on the door.
"They kicked me out." I turned. Sirius was standing behind me. He was grinning.
"Who's they?" I don't think I really wanted to know.
"James and Jaim…"
I didn't give him a chance to finish. "Excuse me?! James and Jaime!! Never!"
"He's on the rebound. He and Lily had one hell of a fight." Sirius explained. "Knowing Jamie it'll be a one night stand. And knowing James, he won't care because he and Lily'll be back together by next week. They always are."
I nodded in agreement. "How long ago did they kick you out?"
"about thirty minutes."
"That's long enough." I walked over to the door. "Next thing y'know we'll find Rock somewhere around with Lily."
I turned the door-knob. As I swung the door open I heard a sudden scramble (probably to clear the bed).
"Hello everybody." I said cheerfully. I was greeted by two less than cheerful faces.
"Kendra…" Jamie started.
"Jamie don't worry your secret is safe with me. I won't tell your parents."
"So James was your fight with Lily that bad?" asked Sirius.
James glared at Sirius.
"Jamie let me guess, you and Milliardo got into another one of your lovely fights?" I grinned, glad to be teasing her about her sex life now.
"Shut up now and I'll let you live." She threatened.
"Same goes for you Padfoot." Said James.
"Jealous?" Sirius didn't know when to stop. "I'm sure you…"
James pulled out his wand. Sirius turned into a dog and ran out of the room, leaving only Jamie and I. Jamie looked like she was about ready to rip my head off.
"I gotta go." I smiled, pointing my thumb over my shoulder.
"It's not that easy."
I turned and ran down the stairs into the common room. Jamie chased after me. James had already cornered Sirius. Molly and Remus were laughing on the couch.
Basically in the end we all forgave each other.

In little ol' South Orange Middle School Dorothy Catalonia was a hit with the boys. They parted in the halls as she walked pass, and some of the boys with more money were always trying to buy her lunch. I think she enjoyed the attention but she didn't care about any of them. She was like 'Carmen' from the opera. She'd play with one of their emotions for a while and then drop them like a bale of hay. Since she was a Student Teacher she was expected to interact with us students more so than the regular teachers. She enjoyed this greatly.
"Hello there." She said sitting down at our table.
Jaime and I looked up from the conversation we'd been having with Allie and Molly.
"This is a Mickey and Minnie conversation." Jamie started.
"So get your Goofy face out of here." I finished. "Start with the eyebrows."
She clucked her tongue. "Why do you hate me so much?"
Allie rolled her eyes. "Goodbye!"
"So long Sucker." Said Molly. "We're trying to talk here."
Dorothy just shook her head and smiled. She got up and walked away.
"That was too easy." I narrowed my eyes looking at Dorothy's retreating back.
"Don't look a gift horse in the mouth." Chided Jamie. "Now anyway where were we…?"
"We were saying Happy birthday to Molly. "Rock pointed out.
We all grinned. "Molly lemme get your transporter." I nodded toward her pocket.
She looked at me suspiciously, but tossed it to me anyway.
"You'll have it back by last period. I forgot my gym clothes." I assured her.
"What're you gonna do to it?" she asked.
"It's a birthday present. I think you'll like it." I pocketed her 'porter.
~
"Where is it?" persisted Molly.
"Sheesh you act like I smashed it with a metal baseball bat." I rolled my eyes. "Here."
She looked it over. "What'd you do to it exactly?"
I pointed to a new addition to her transporter.
"Oh, cool!" she exclaimed. "You gave me powers. Yes now I can permanently be a witch. Thanks! How'd you do it?"
"I stole the blue prints from Arian." I paused thinking. "Do me a favor, when you chose your mutant powers, choose wisely. Be original, have style."
"I have an idea all ready." Molly grinned. "And I know just who I'd like to test it on…"
~
Molly and I stood in a hanger (an aircraft hanger) except it didn't hold planes. It held the coveted Mobile Suite. Molly wanted to steal one, and I wasn't stopping her.
We ducked behind a fuel canister as two guards walked by.
"Ok." Molly breathed softly. "I need to like pinch you or something. step on your foot, something like that."
"What?!" I gawked at her.
She ignored me and proceeded to pinch my arm with strength I didn't know she posed.
"Now I'm going to take the pain from you." She continued.
I saw her concentrating and slowly I felt the sting of the pinch being lifted from my arm. She looked over at the two guards and seemed to be pushing the pinch over towards them. Suddenly the two guards grabbed their arms, desperately trying to see what was wrong. I looked back at Molly. She was about slug me, I guess she needed more pain for the guards.
"Try it." I engulfed my hand in flames. "And I will hurt you."
"I can take my pain and place it back on you." She countered.
I sighed. "Can you take emotional pain too?"
"Yeah. Like if you were sad for some reason I could take it away from you and you wouldn't feel it anymore." She explained.
"Well it is original." I admitted. "But we have Mobile suits to steal, and no time to waste, so lets get to it."
It was really easy. I burned Molly then she took the burns and put them on the guards. They fell to the ground writhing in pain, while Molly and I stole two Mobile Suits.
~
After hiding the Suits with a concealment charm Molly and I both went home. On my computer there was an IM message waiting. I sat down and clicked on it. It was from Orange Boarder.
Orange Boarder: Listen
Kendra, it's me Alicia. Can you meet me at Hogwarts. Twelvish would be great,
Moony, Padfoot, and Prongs time. I have some news you might find interesting.
The message ended there. I went to AOL member find. Alicia had signed off about two hours ago. I got off and picked up my phone. It dangled in my hands for a few seconds while I tried to decide who to call. Finally I dialed Jamie's number.
'975-3124', the phone rang. A sleepy sounding Jamie picked.
"Wha…" she yawned.
"are you up for a little midnight run to Hogwarts?" I asked casually.
"Not really." I heard her yawn again. "How important is it?"
"Alicia's involved."
I heard Jamie fall off her bed. "what?"
"She sent me an IM telling me to meet her there, but I need back up."
"I don't know." she hesitated. "What if I see James."
I giggled. "What would be the problem with that?"
She was silent.
"He's just as guilty as you are, you little vixen. I'll see you at twelve."
"Hey you did it first. And at least I'm not pregnant." She said.
With that I hung up.
~
Jamie yawned for the umpteenth time in a row.
"I have a science test tomorrow!" she complained. "Alicia's late."
"No I'm not."
We turned, Alicia was behind us. "You got my message, I see."
"Yeah," I looked at her. "Can we hurry this up? Jamie's about to start kicking something or someone, namely you."
Alicia grinned. "Listen Darkholme hates Arian, and plans to dispose of her when you two join the brotherhood. Dorothy, well, I thinks she's just in for the fun of it, but she might have something up her sleeve. And Duke Durmail we haven't heard from, and we assume he's done with what ever he was doing. Arian's been negotiating with Voldemort. I don't think he'll join up though, he's to smart." She stopped and looked at, making sure we wee taking in the information. "Also those Mobile Suits you and Molly stole won't be safe for long. In a week or so time someone will find them. Jamie, Darkholme had a talk with Xavier this morning. It was about your school work, yours to Kendra. She's thinking expelling you two."
"More expulsions and suspensions. Just what we need." Muttered Jaime. "Anything else?"
"Nope. I'll brief you as info comes." She turned to walk away. "You need to be careful. Arian will strike again soon. Stay at Hogwarts tonight."
She walked into the darkness of the night, and disappeared. Jaime and I turned to each other. Jaime looked sort of grumpy but alert at the same time. I'm sure I looked pretty much the same way.
"If our parents…" I started. Jaime interrupted me.
"It's time for drastic measures." Jaime said sternly. "Fuck the parents. We are so staying here. We're not going back until this situation is over. Our mansions are ready by now. We'll stay there. We are not going back into the real world, what ever our parents say."
"Why all of the sudden?" I asked.
"A few reasons." She said. "One, I'd much rather go to Bayview than go to S.O.M.S. Better education, and we don't have to worry about rats running around during class. Two, Less Arian to worry about. Three, we can keep a better eye on Darkholme; we need to seeing as she seems to be one of the major factors in this whole thing. We can go back home when Arian has been defeated."
I nodded listening to her argument. "I think I agree. I'll get Molly and Rock, you get Allie. Rock can stay with me. What world will we be in?"
"Bayview, we need to learn at least something. You've got that big garage attached to your manor right?"
I nodded.
"I'll bring a Gundam for just incase reasons." She looked around passively as she thought. "This is gonna be hard. How will we not go home?"
I thought for a second. "I-I," I stuttered. "I could set the 'porters so that we wouldn't be able to go to the real world for a certain period of time."
Jaime raised an eye-brow (Like The Rock from the WWF). "what would the time period have to be?" she asked cautiously.
"from eight months to a three years. Minimum eight months"
"eight months away from home?" Jamie asked like it was ludicrous. "It shouldn't take eight months to do this."
I shrugged. "That's all I can offer."
~
"Allie," Jamie stood over her bed, gently shook her. "Allie wake up."
she turned slowly in her sleep. "But the care bears saved the world mommy."
"Allie." Jaime ignored the comment, and kept shaking her. "Come on, and wake up."
Allie finally turned over, and acted semi-conscious. "Jamie." She muttered. Is that you?"
"Yeah. We need to go. I'll explain later."
Allie slowly got out of bed. "Where're we going?"
"Bayview."
"why?" she asked groggily.
"I explain when we get Molly and Rock too. Ok?" Jamie assured Allie.
~
We met back at my mansion. Jamie explained every thing to Molly, Rock, and Allie. I explained all the technical things.
"eight months!" exclaimed Molly. "Are you f*****' mad?!"
"We need to keep down temptation, and that'd the only way to do it." I insisted.
"I sorta agree with her." said Rock. "Otherwise we'd go back, and get into major trouble. We need to have a block."
"We can still lead regular lives." Said Jaime. "We can go to school and every thing."
"Why do we need to do this?" said Allie.
"well for one we won't get into so much trouble with our parents any more, and also it's easier to have a base of operations here." I said sighing.
"Oh fine, what the hell." She gave in.
"Rock?" Jamie questioned.
"I need to go back once more and get some things." He conceded too.
"Molly?"
"Can't hurt." She said gallantly.
We spit shook on it and it became official.
~
Darkholme seemed surprised to see all of us at Bayview high on Monday morning, but to give her credit she took it quite well. All she did was pause in the hall way and look at us (we were all in a group).
Arian was very upset to find us sitting in the cafeteria that afternoon for lunch. She looked as if she wanted to fly into a rage, instead se kept her cool and came over and muttered three words to us.
"I'm sending someone."
She walked away quickly.
"What was that supposed to mean?" Scott looked at us.
"She's being a bitch again." Jamie grumbled. "Ignore her until something happens."
"She'll probably send one of her little friends." Said Rock mockingly.
"Wonder who it'll be this time?" I said. "Miranda, Kate, maybe Carolyn."
"If it's Miranda can we jack her up?" pleaded Jamie.
"I'm guessing you don't like Miranda." Said Evan.
"Show him his prize Vannaha!" Said Rock sarcastically. "No duh, of course not."
Kitty giggled. "You guys take this, like way to seriously."
"I'll pretend I didn't hear that comment." Said Allie rolling her eyes.
"Lets change the subject," continued Rock. "Kendra your hair's green."
I made a face at him. "It's called cheap spray on hair dye. It'll wash out."
"Your pig tails are the darkest." He commented.
"If we keep on this topic your eye is gonna be pretty dark."
"Fine." He stuck out his tongue at me. "What're we doing tonight?"
"Gundam wing world." Said Allie and Jamie together.
"Big Wolf On Campus marathon." I said.
Jamie, Allie, and Rock looked at me strangely.
"Why do I even ask?" Rock sighed.
"I happen to thing Danny Smith is cute, so sue me."
"Hey!" called Scott.
"You're gonna watch that all night?" Rock looked like he was going to laugh.
"Yup. Got a problem?"
"I'll join you." He said. "Lorie's hot."

(A/n- hello it's me… the author. I just thought that it was time for a few questions to be answered- these are questions that people have been asking. The most popular question is are these bad guys real people? Yes they are real people, but their real names aren't used, because I don't want to have my ass sued off. Another question is, is this story true? Use your brains people! Do you think it's true? The real world part is, but no the other part is not true!! We may think we can travel into other worlds but in the worthless reality, we can not. Another question, are these your real names? Yes they are our real names. Next question, are we really this obsessed with Harry Potter, Gundam Wing, Hannibal, and X-men? Duh!!!!! Of course we are! Why else would I write this story. Moving on, why is Relena portrayed as such a bad person? Because Jamie, Allie, and Molly hate her. Rock and I are indifferent.
Well that's about it. When more questions come I'll answer them. Toodles)

Day six, it was funny, I really wasn't missing the real world at all. I wasn't missing my parents or my little brother really. I didn't really know if that was right or not, but that's what I felt. I knew Jamie wasn't missing her parents either. Neither was Rock (he called his little sister the devil's child). I didn't know about Molly or Allie. Maybe there were just to many distractions for us to be thinking about them, or maybe not. I wouldn't exactly consider Miranda a distraction , she was way to easy for us to deal with, all most to easy…
The day after Arian 'warned' us about the person she was sending, Allie, Jamie and I saw a u-haul in front of the apartment building she lived in. The back was open and we could see that the person moving in didn't own a lot. then Arian stepped out of the apartment and walked up to the truck. She threw us a look as she passed. A few seconds later another girl stepped out of the passenger side of the trucks cab.
"Miranda." Allie hissed.
We watched as Arian and Miranda greeted each other. There was the same evil glint in their eyes. Miranda smiled at us; it looked as if she were sizing us up. finally turned back to Arian and muttered something.
"What ever." I heard Arian say.
I nodded to Allie and we walked down the sidewalk to where they were standing.
"Where're you going?" asked Miranda.
"none of your beeswax." I crossed my eyes at her (that's sort of my signature thing, kind of like Jamie's eyebrow is hers.)
"Are you the 'someone' Arian's sending after us?" Allie asked sarcastically.
"Maybe."
"Well lets eliminate that 'maybe' and downgrade it to a 'no'." I suggested.
"Good idea." Said Jamie. Then she proceeded to punch Miranda in the jaw.
"I second that thought." Allie kicked her in the stomach sending her down to the ground.
"And for the grand faunally… come girls." I led Jamie and Allie down the side walk, walking over Miranda's stomach in the process.
~
"Guess what?" Jaime announced to Rock and I one night.
"What?" Rock looked up from his homework dully.
"You didn't bring anymore Mobile Suits through did you?" I groaned looking up from Rock's transporter (I was adding powers to his).
"No, no." said Jaime with a wave of her hand. "I'm going to FBI training school."
Rock dropped his pen onto the floor with a clunk. "What?!"
"FBI, agent Clarice (A/n- Jamie help me here, I don't have the book with me!) Starling, at your service." She held up a badge.
Suddenly two and two clicked for me.
"I thought we agreed, no more Hannibal!" I glared at her.
"Hey, I'm not hanging with Hannibal, I just happen to be in the same world, being the same person that Hannibal wants to see. No harm there."
"Your sarcasm is soooo unappreciated." Said Rock. "Are you trying to get eaten or something?"
"He won't eat Clarice (A/n-arg!)" protested Jamie. "And he wouldn't eat me either."
"Jamie this idea is really f***** up just so you know." Rock shook his head.
"Don't worry 'Ill be fine." Jaime smiled. "Eat, drink and be marry, as I always say."
"For tomorrow we may die." I finished the quote dryly. "That brought a real note of happiness to my life. Thanks Jamie."
